Toll rises to six in Addis Ababa bomb blast

ADDIS-ABABA (AFP) — Two people died on Thursday of their injuries following an explosion that rocked a bar in the Ethiopian capital, bringing the death toll to six, police said.

The explosion took place on Wednesday in Addis-Ababa. Four people were killed and dozens injured.

“No one has been captured and investigations are underway,” police spokesman Demsach Hailu added.

Six people were killed in May when a bomb exploded on a minibus near the foreign ministry office in Addis Ababa, while three others were killed and 18 wounded the previous month in blasts that hit petrol stations in the capital.
